We had honey walnut shrimp, gau gee (they are huge), lemon chicken (chicken was a little chewy), char siu, char siu fried rice. The food was very good, although the chicken was a little tough and didn’t have a lot of lemon sauce on it. We had GREAT service and none of the issues with tips or rude server some of the other reviews have listed. There were 5 people in our group.

Bottom line, this is a cheap no-frills Chinese place that will serve you quantity over quality. Not gonna lie though, I felt pretty gross afterwards and severely needed fresh veggies lol. Went there for lunch and got the dinner plate, because honestly it was only like 65 cents extra compared to lunch plate for fried shrimp and fried rice. The sheer amount of options and different items on the plate make it cost effective, but temper your expectations because the food is very meh. Even the pork were all cold, signifying they're just reheating it all out of the fridge. The fried shrimp was way too much batter. The chow mein was good, but the sauce was so gloopy with corn starch. Could only finish half, and debating if I wanna finish the other half for lunch tomorrow BUT! THE WINNER WINNET GAU GEE DINNER. So the fried gau gee is $14.99 and comes in a portion of 8, but jeez Louise are these the BIGGEST PLUMPEST GAU GEE you ever did see. Like they're so stuff, and worth the price. A side dish of mustard comes too so you can make your own shoyu mustard for dipping. All else, I will just be ordering these gau gee for potlucks. Service was fine, servers were nice. Lots of tables inside. Again, no frills.
